Demi Lovato has recently opened up about why they didn't come out as nonbinary sooner. Speaking to Jane Fonda for her "Fire Drill Friday" podcast, Lovato said the way they grew up had an impact on their gender expression.
Lovato said if they had continued to "listen to the patriarchy" their pronouns would have never changed and they probably would have been "married to a man with kids, doing the thing that I was raised to believe I should do."

"And I'm a very fluid person, I'm a very free spirited, open person."
